    Hello

    I use AWSTATS and I accidentally deleted the STATS directory of one of my sites, on the VPS. I did recreate it (/var/www/clients/client1/web3/web/stats). From FTP client I see some file to be there. But when I try to access them from the browser (www.example.com/stats) I get error 403 : You are not permited to access the requested url.

    Check the permissions and ownership of the newly created stats directory

    Hello

    The permissions of the STATS directory are 755 which is ok. The ownership was wrongly set to root/root. I did change it to be the appropriate one: web3/client1. However I still get error 403.

    I noticed that the problematic directory is missing the file *.htpasswd_stats, and still it asks me for a password when I try to access it.

    Set the stats password again in ispconfig.
